\u2014 E\u0219ti nebun\u0103 de legat, Sofia! \u2014 a strigat Leana. \u2014 Hr\u0103ne\u0219ti boschetarii \u0219i r\u0103m\u00e2i tu f\u0103r\u0103 nimic!<\/p>\n
Tanti Sofia nu a r\u0103spuns.<\/p>\n
A trecut o s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2n\u0103 plin\u0103 de nelini\u0219te. Marica s-a \u00eemboln\u0103vit, bani nu erau. Noaptea, Sofia se blestema, amintindu-\u0219i fiecare bancnot\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u0218i vineri seara, c\u00e2nd farurile au luminat brusc poarta \u0219i un jeep mare, negru, a oprit \u00een fa\u021ba casei, inima i-a s\u0103rit \u00een g\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103\u2026 \u2014 a \u0219optit C\u0103t\u0103lina.<\/p>\n
Tanti Sofia a ie\u0219it pe prisp\u0103.<\/p>\n
La poart\u0103 st\u0103tea un b\u0103rbat. \u00cenalt, cu palton scump de ca\u0219mir, pantofi cura\u021bi\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2026iar c\u00e2nd a ridicat privirea, tanti Sofia a sim\u021bit cum i se taie picioarele.<\/p>\n
Era el.<\/p>\n
Doar c\u0103 nu mai sem\u0103na deloc cu omul din pia\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
Fa\u021ba \u00eei era ras\u0103, p\u0103rul tuns scurt, privirea limpede. \u00cen spatele lui, jeepul negru torcea \u00eencet, cu farurile aprinse, lumin\u00e2nd gardul scorojit \u0219i curtea mic\u0103, cu lemnele stivuite l\u00e2ng\u0103 perete.<\/p>\n
Marica s-a ascuns dup\u0103 fusta mamei ei.<\/p>\n
C\u0103t\u0103lina a f\u0103cut un pas \u00een fa\u021b\u0103, instinctiv, ca o mam\u0103 care \u00ee\u0219i ap\u0103r\u0103 copilul.<\/p>\n
B\u0103rbatul a deschis \u00eencet poarta.<\/p>\n
\u2014 S\u0103rut m\u00e2na, doamn\u0103 Sofia.<\/p>\n
Vocea era aceea\u0219i.<\/p>\n
Calm\u0103. A\u0219ezat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Tanti Sofia a str\u00e2ns balustrada prispei.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pavel\u2026?<\/p>\n
El a z\u00e2mbit u\u0219or.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Da. Pavel.<\/p>\n
A f\u0103cut c\u00e2\u021biva pa\u0219i \u00een curte \u0219i s-a oprit, ca \u0219i cum ar fi vrut s\u0103-i lase timp s\u0103 \u00een\u021beleag\u0103 c\u0103 nu viseaz\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am c\u0103utat-o toat\u0103 s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2na. Am \u00eentrebat \u00een pia\u021b\u0103. Unii au r\u00e2s. Al\u021bii mi-au spus c\u0103 st\u0103 \u201eb\u0103tr\u00e2na de l\u00e2ng\u0103 tomberoane\u201d pe strada Viitorului.<\/p>\n
Leana vorbise.<\/p>\n
Sofia a sim\u021bit un nod \u00een g\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce\u2026 ce s-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat?<\/p>\n
Pavel a tras aer ad\u00e2nc \u00een piept.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu sunt om al str\u0103zii. Cel pu\u021bin\u2026 nu eram. Am avut o firm\u0103 de transport la Bra\u0219ov. Am avut cas\u0103, ma\u0219ini, angaja\u021bi. \u00centr-o lun\u0103, am pierdut tot. Partenerul m-a \u00een\u0219elat, conturile blocate, acte disp\u0103rute. Am plecat s\u0103 rezolv lucrurile. Pe drum mi-au furat portofelul \u0219i telefonul. F\u0103r\u0103 acte, f\u0103r\u0103 bani\u2026 nimeni nu te mai vede.<\/p>\n
S-a uitat la m\u00e2inile lui.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00cen ziua \u00een care m-a\u021bi ajutat\u2026 voiam doar s\u0103 ajung la Bucure\u0219ti. La un vechi prieten, avocat. Suma pe care mi-a\u021bi dat-o \u2014 280 de lei \u2014 mi-a pl\u0103tit drumul \u0219i o camer\u0103 ieftin\u0103 pentru o noapte. At\u00e2t mi-a trebuit ca s\u0103 pot da un telefon.<\/p>\n
Sofia \u0219i-a dus m\u00e2na la gur\u0103.<\/p>\n
280 de lei.<\/p>\n
At\u00e2t str\u00e2nsese pentru cizme.<\/p>\n
Pavel a continuat:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Prietenul meu m-a ajutat s\u0103-mi recuperez identitatea. Conturile. Firma. Tot. A durat c\u00e2teva zile, dar s-a rezolvat. \u0218i \u00een fiecare noapte m-am g\u00e2ndit la dumneavoastr\u0103. La faptul c\u0103 a\u021bi dat tot ce avea\u021bi\u2026 unui str\u0103in.<\/p>\n
S-a apropiat de treptele prispei.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De ce a\u021bi f\u0103cut asta?<\/p>\n
Tanti Sofia a ridicat din umeri.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 era frig.<\/p>\n
At\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
Pavel a \u00eenchis ochii o clip\u0103.<\/p>\n
Apoi a f\u0103cut un semn spre ma\u0219in\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u0218oferul a cobor\u00e2t \u0219i a scos dou\u0103 cutii mari.<\/p>\n
Le-a a\u0219ezat pe mas\u0103, \u00een buc\u0103t\u0103ria mic\u0103, unde mirosul de ceai de tei \u00eenc\u0103 plutea \u00een aer.<\/p>\n
\u00cen prima cutie erau haine groase, noi. Cizmuli\u021be ro\u0219ii, cu bl\u0103ni\u021b\u0103, exact pe m\u0103rimea Maric\u0103i.<\/p>\n
Feti\u021ba a r\u0103mas cu gura c\u0103scat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen a doua cutie era un plic.<\/p>\n
Pavel l-a \u00eempins spre Sofia.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Aici sunt 20.000 de lei. Nu e mil\u0103. E recuno\u0219tin\u021b\u0103. \u0218i investi\u021bie.<\/p>\n
Sofia a tres\u0103rit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu pot s\u0103 primesc\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ba da \u2014 a spus el bl\u00e2nd. \u2014 Pentru c\u0103 vreau s\u0103 deschidem \u00eempreun\u0103 ceva. O mic\u0103 b\u0103c\u0103nie \u00een pia\u021b\u0103. Cu produse f\u0103cute de dumneavoastr\u0103. Mur\u0103turi, dulce\u021buri, zacusc\u0103. Eu investesc. Dumneavoastr\u0103 conduce\u021bi. Pe firm\u0103 legal\u0103. F\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 mai sta\u021bi l\u00e2ng\u0103 tomberoane.<\/p>\n
C\u0103t\u0103lina a \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103 \u00een t\u0103cere.<\/p>\n
Marica a str\u00e2ns cizmuli\u021bele la piept.<\/p>\n
Sofia s-a a\u0219ezat pe scaun.<\/p>\n
Via\u021ba ei fusese mereu o lupt\u0103. Pensie mic\u0103. Frig. Ru\u0219ine. Oameni care vorbesc.<\/p>\n
\u0218i acum, dintr-un borcan de mur\u0103turi \u0219i o caserol\u0103 cu m\u00e2ncare, se n\u0103\u0219tea ceva nou.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De ce eu? \u2014 a \u0219optit.<\/p>\n
Pavel a z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 atunci c\u00e2nd nimeni nu m-a v\u0103zut, dumneavoastr\u0103 m-a\u021bi v\u0103zut.<\/p>\n
\u00cen prim\u0103var\u0103, la intrarea \u00een pia\u021b\u0103, era o firm\u0103 nou\u0103:<\/p>\n
\u201eBun\u0103t\u0103\u021bile Sofiei \u2014 gust de acas\u0103\u201d.<\/p>\n
La deschidere era coad\u0103.<\/p>\n
Leana a trecut pe l\u00e2ng\u0103 tarab\u0103, t\u0103cut\u0103.<\/p>\n
Sofia st\u0103tea drept, cu \u0219or\u021b curat \u0219i obrajii rumeni.<\/p>\n
Marica alerga printre rafturi, \u00een cizmuli\u021bele ei ro\u0219ii.<\/p>\n
Iar c\u00e2nd cineva \u00eentreba de ce z\u00e2mbe\u0219te mereu, tanti Sofia r\u0103spundea simplu:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 binele nu se pierde niciodat\u0103. Doar se \u00eentoarce\u2026 c\u00e2nd te a\u0219tep\u021bi mai pu\u021bin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
